  7. Chronic absentee-ism

    mariedoreen replied to RN4ustat's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for the clarification. At this point, with regard to the concept of honesty and which administration would be better for our troops however, I have far more questions about Bush's agenda for...

  15. "I don't know who to vote for?"

    mariedoreen replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  20. Is taking basic Biology & Chemistry together a bad choice?

    mariedoreen replied to gemini08's topic in General Students
